Skyway Software announced that it has joined the Eclipse Foundation. Skyway Software joins the Eclipse Foundation as an Add-In Provider member to support the continued growth of Eclipse's development platform.

"We are pleased to welcome Skyway Software as a member of the Eclipse Foundation. Skyway Software's usage of several Eclipse frameworks and projects has enabled them to cost-effectively develop their runtime-independent end-to-end modeling capabilities," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. "We look forward to Skyway's participation in the rapidly growing modeling ecosystem at Eclipse."

Skyway Visual Workspace includes Skyway Builder (a development tool to prototype, design, and build solutions) and Skyway Director (a deployment tool to generate and deploy solutions). Some of the world's largest enterprises rely on model-based Skyway Visual Workspace, and our iterative, enabling methodology Skyway Collaborative Software Delivery, to facilitate collaborative development and deployment of SOA-based JEE applications more quickly and more accurately than ever before.

"Today's announcement marks another milestone in Skyway Software's ongoing effort to simplify the software delivery process for our customers using open standards," said Jared Rodriguez, CTO and Co-Founder of Skyway Software. "The Eclipse and Skyway Software partnership is a great match since our Skyway Visual Workspace plug-in will rely extensively on the Eclipse Modeling Framework, the Eclipse Modeling Project, and the Data Tools Platform. And by doing so all within the Spring Framework, we facilitate a seamless blend of hand-coding and modeling to help enterprises deliver fast, accurate JEE solutions."
